I have seen in a few docs about setting this max fragment size to say 2 =
gig or anything less than the max file size your OS can handle. How I =
understand it is that this will then improve restore times as it can =
skip along these 2 gig chunks until it finds the section it needs and =
then begin a read through of that chunk to find the files needed and =
start restore.

My question is 1. Am I right in my thinking? and 2. What would be the =
downside to this? If it improves restore times what reason is there to =
not set it?

Thanks

Environments:-

Netbackup 3.2, Solaris 8 Using SUN L1000 4 DLT 7000 tape units

Netbackup 4.5 FP6 Solaris 8 Using SUN L25 and LTO drive
